Looks like Telangana will be betrayed by its Judas’s again. I refer to our politicians the MP’s, MLA’s and MLC’s we have elected to be our voice in the Government. That they continue to dilly and dally in having their resignations accepted, and forcing the center to start the process for the formation of Telangana is a tamasha we are seeing daily. The concern of the congress MP’s, MLA’s and MLC’s seems to be driven more by what the party high command wants than by the voice of the people who put them in their seats of power.
While we clamor for our leaders to force their resignation and pressurize the central Government to heed to our demands, they cling on like limpets to their positions of power. What they fail to realize is that, the people of Telangana are losing their patience, what happened to Danam Nagendra is just a small example of things to come. As it is the leaders today are afraid of going outside Hyderabad or their constituency, imagine what the situation will be post 28 January, when their deadline expires. Our demand for your resignation is reasonable, we have placed you in your seats and if your resignation serves the interests of our region then resign you must, it is your Dharma. If you relinquish your power today, the loss will be transitory, we promise you, you will come back triumphant. Ignore our cry today and tomorrow you will be cast off like pariahs.
It is Telangana’s misfortune to be betrayed by its politicians, the history of the movement is littered with the sacrifices of its youth and the treachery of its leaders. In 1969, the massacre of 390 students was overshadowed by the treachery of M. Chenna Reddy who bartered the state for the Chief Ministers post. The same happened in 2004, when KCR pledged the future of the region for a cabinet berth with no portfolio. And history prepares to repeat itself, while our youth immolate themselves and succumb to depression on the plight of the region and our students stare at the prospect of a zero academic year, our leaders whose resignations would have the maximum impact at least cost hesitate to do so.
They cite the frivolous reason that “it might bring about a constitutional crisis” what about the humanitarian crisis that has been plaguing the region for the last half century, a systemic marginalization of 3.5 crore people. Our message to our leaders is loud and clear, we are willing to lay down our lives for Telangana. You have to decide if you are with or against us. If you are with the 3.5 crore people of Telangana, then resign from your posts and come join us. If you are not with us, then a word of advice please stay safely in your mansions and do not defile our homes by setting foot in them.
Jai Telangana
Jai Hind

Two Pronged Political and Administrative Strategy for Telangana
24-year-old Bhooma Reddy, is the latest in the list of many who have committed suicide after seeing the Govt’s apathy on Telangana formation. My earnest appeal to Telangana brothers and sisters is remember “No war is won by scarifying your life. You win wars by making your enemy sacrifice his”. This was written by a Chinese strategist, Lau Tzu over a thousand years back. Instead of losing hope, we need to work towards making the powers that be realize, that there can be no continuation of status quo on this issue. This can happen only if we raise our struggle from being an emotional cry for justice to a strategic demand for a separate state.
The struggle for Telangana has to be fought on two fronts, the political and administrative each with a different plan of action and each reinforcing the impact of the other.
On the political front, I request our representatives to resign from the Lok Sabha, the Assembly, the Legislative Councils and from all political Committees and Ministerial berths. The message from this for the Government will be loud and clear, the struggle cannot be tamed by offering a few morsels of chewed up power like a cabinet berth without portfolio or a Dy. Chief Minister’s post. It will put an end to all speculation and alternatives the center is looking at to walk away from statehood to Telangana and force it to concede to our demand.
At the administrative front, our strategy needs to be the reverse. We need our people in the administration, the police force, the judiciary, the universities and other public corporations to safeguard our interests. As it is we are vastly outnumbered in these and if we resign or leave these posts unattended to it will cause irreparable damage to the state Telangana. Our people within the Government need to assert themselves and derail or make it impossible for any anti-Telangana decision to be implemented. We need them in their posts to safeguard our interests and to be prepared to take over the harness from the Andhras and Rayalseemas once Telangana is formed.
Our strategy till date has been the reverse, our politicians have stuck on like glue to their posts while the administrators have tendered resignations in protest against the Govt’s apathy. The time has now come for us to form a united army to fight for Telangana with the leaders leading from the front and the administrators safeguarding and managing the interests of the region.
Telangana is awaiting its birth, we need to ensure we are capable of nurturing it to prosperity and stability. And this can only happen if we let go of positions of power that we can lay claim to anytime, while sticking on like glue to strategic areas that we can at no time leave unguarded.
